Spent the last month building a treehouse in our backyard with my two boys. We did it together, I showed them how to use tools, measure, nail stuff. When we finished and they climbed up there for the first time their faces were priceless. Now that's their favorite spot in the whole world and they want to spend every afternoon up there. Totally worth every blister and sore muscle.
A month of treehouse building with the boys sounds like the kind of memory they'll carry forever. How high off the ground did you go with it?
Teamwork with your kids on something they can be proud of. That's fatherhood at its finest. Do they actually use it or are they still too nervous up there?
That's the kind of dad move that actually matters. Building something together teaches them so much more than just playing video games. Respect.
This is awesome man. The treehouse thing hits different because they're going to remember that forever. My boys still talk about the deck we built two summers ago. Did you have any close calls or did it go smoother than expected?
This is special. Building something WITH your kids instead of just FOR them is a whole different level. Bet they're still talking about it nonstop.
Dude this is goals. I've been thinking about doing something like this with my kids but honestly I'm intimidated by the whole thing. How did you plan it out? Any tips for a total beginner?
